The Investigators

Season 1 Episode 8: De Luca

The plot centers around an arson case in a cannery village, but the investigation is lightened by rich, down-to-earth characterizations. Notably, Robert Middleton portrays De Luca, a foreign-type character who attempts to spark a romance between Investigator Steve Banks, played by James Philbrook, and his daughter, portrayed by Judi Meredith. The lively interactions among the simple folk feel authentic, thanks in part to strong performances from Mario Alcade as a frustrated suitor and other Greek clansmen, including Vito Scotti and Nick Dennis. Interestingly, a real Greek Orthodox priest, Father Spencer Kazios, appears as himself in a scene where the fishing fleet receives a blessing.
